Fuzzy Supervision Based-Pitch Angle Control of a Tidal Stream Generator for a Disturbed Tidal Input
(MDPI, 2018-11-01)
Energy originating in tidal and ocean currents appears to be more intense and predictable than other renewables. In this area of research, the Tidal Stream Generator (TSG) power plant is one of the most recent forms of ...
On a New Discrete SEIADR Model with Mixed Controls: Study of Its Properties
(MDPI, 2018-12-25)
A new discrete SEIADR epidemic model is built based on previous continuous models. The model considers two extra subpopulation, namely, asymptomatic and lying corpses on the usual SEIR models. It can be of potential interest ...
Some Formal Results on Positivity, Stability, and Endemic Steady-State Attainability Based on Linear Algebraic Tools for a Class of Epidemic Models with Eventual Incommensurate Delays
(Hindawi, 2019-07-08)
A formal description of typical compartmental epidemic models obtained is presented by splitting the state into an infective substate, or infective compartment, and a noninfective substate, or noninfective compartment. A ...
Nanostructured giant magneto-impedance multilayers deposited onto flexible substrates for low pressure sensing
(Springer, 2012-04)
Nanostructured FeNi-based multilayers are very suitable for use as magnetic sensors using the giant magneto-impedance effect. New fields of application can be opened with these materials deposited onto flexible substrates. ...
Photosynthetic responses of trees in high-elevation forests: comparing evergreen species along an elevation gradient in the Central Andes
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
Plant growth at extremely high elevations is constrained by high daily thermal amplitude, strong solar radiation and water scarcity. These conditions are particularly harsh in the tropics, where the highest elevation ...
Side-Effects of Domestication: Cultivated Legume Seeds Contain Similar Tocopherols and Fatty Acids but Less Carotenoids than Their Wild Counterparts
(Biomed Central, 2014-12-20)
BACKGROUND: Lipophilic antioxidants play dual key roles in edible seeds (i) as preservatives of cell integrity and seed viability by preventing the oxidation of fats, and (ii) as essential nutrients for human and animal ...
Modified atmosphere packaging and dark/light refrigerated storage in green leafy vegetables have impact on nutritional value
(Springer, 2019-01-04)
The consumption of zeaxanthin (Z) through a vegetable-rich diet is recommended to reduce the progression of age-related macular degeneration. Due to Z’s intrinsic dynamic character that results from its participation in ...
Helmholtz Fermi surface harmonics: an efficient approach for treating anisotropic problems involving Fermi surface integrals
(IOP Publishing, 2014-06-09)
We present a new efficient numerical approach for representing anisotropic physical quantities and/or matrix elements defined on the Fermi surface (FS) of metallic materials. The method introduces a set of numerically ...
Doxorubicin-induced DNA Damage Causes Extensive Ubiquitination of Ribosomal Proteins Associated with a Decrease in Protein Translation
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2018-12)
Protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) play a central role in the DNA damage response. In particular, protein phosphorylation and ubiquitination have been shown to be essential in the signaling cascade that coordinates ...
Using nodal coordinates as variables for the dimensional synthesis of mechanisms
(Springer, 2018-06)
The method of the lower deformation energy has been successfully used for the synthesis of mechanisms for quite a while. It has shown to be a versatile, yet powerful method for assisting in the design of mechanisms. Until ...
